凯迪拉克F1签下三名技术高管，包括前红牛首席设计师
凯迪拉克F1车队签下克雷格·斯金纳、埃里克·布兰丁和蒂姆·林三位工程师，以加速其研发进程。前红牛首席设计师斯金纳出任首席开发工程师，前阿斯顿·马丁副技术总监布兰丁担任空气动力学主管，资深空气动力学家林出任空气动力学首席工程师。

凯迪拉克 Formula 1 车队通过三项重大签约加强了其技术领导层，其中包括前 红牛 的 Craig Skinner
凯迪拉克 F1 车队招揽了工程三人组 Craig Skinner、Eric Blandin 和 Tim Lean，旨在加速其研发进程。
前 红牛 首席设计师 Skinner 是 红牛 夺冠赛车 小红牛19 的设计者，此次加入担任 凯迪拉克 的首席开发工程师。Motorsport.com 了解到，Skinner 曾接近转投 阿尔派，但最终接受了这支美国拥有的车队的邀约。
前阿斯顿·马丁副技术总监埃里克·布兰丁成为该车队的空气动力学主管。经验丰富的空气动力学专家蒂姆·利恩加入，担任首席工程师——空气动力学建模与仿真，此前曾在迈凯伦、红牛和法拉利任职，向布兰丁汇报。
凯迪拉克本赛季作为第11支扩军车队首次亮相，由前马诺车队人格雷姆·洛登组建，车手为经验丰富的大奖赛冠军塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯和瓦尔特利·博塔斯。
该车队凭借搭载法拉利引擎的MAC-26赛车完成了体面的首秀，但管理层急于加快研发步伐，凯迪拉克首席执行官丹·托里斯在夏休期采取行动，用前阿尔派高管马尔钦·布德科夫斯基替换了洛登。
由于深陷各种运营和制造质量问题，布德科夫斯基的首要任务是进一步加强车队的流程，并利用共同所有者通用汽车现有的资源。

与此同时，这支美国拥有的车队如今也已采取行动，通过三笔重量级签约来加强其技术领导团队，为车队备战2027年的第二个赛季做准备。
考虑到较长的提前期和园艺休假时间，凯迪拉克宣布这三人将“在未来几个月内全部加入车队”。
“这些任命代表着车队技术演进的关键一步，”凯迪拉克F1车队领队Marcin Budkowski表示。“在研发、空气动力学和建模领域汇聚经验丰富的领导层，将帮助我们打造一个更强大的整合型技术组织，并提升赛道表现。Craig、Eric和Tim为凯迪拉克F1带来了比赛和夺冠经验，涉及的领域正是我们长期发展的核心所在。”
凯迪拉克最近在银石赛道设立了全新的英国总部，同时还在印第安纳州费舍尔斯打造一座最先进的新基地。
签下Skinner、Blandin和Lean似乎是凯迪拉克车队全速前进的明确信号，尽管外界对其部分所有权集团仍存疑虑，因为TWG Global集团（该车队的大股东）的老板Mark Walter正面临更广泛的调查。

Cadillac makes three major tech hires including former Red Bull design chief
The Cadillac Formula 1 team has shored up its technical leadership with three major signings, including former Red Bull man Craig Skinner
The Cadillac F1 team has snapped up engineering trio Craig Skinner, Eric Blandin and Tim Lean as it aims to accelerate its development.
Former Red Bull chief designer Skinner, the architect of Red Bull's championship winning RB19, joins as Cadillac's chief development engineer. Motorsport.com understands Skinner was close to a move to Alpine, but is instead taking up the US-owned team's offer.
Former Aston Martin deputy tech chief Eric Blandin becomes the team's head of aerodynamics. Experienced aerodynamicist Tim Lean joins as Chief Engineer - Aerodynamics Modelling and Simulation, following stints at McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari, reporting to Blandin.
Cadillac made its debut this season as an 11th expansion team, set up by former Manor man Graeme Lowdon with veteran grand prix winners Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas as its drivers.
The team made a respectable debut with its MAC-26 car powered by Ferrari engines, but with management keen to step up its development pace Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss moved to replace Lowdon during the summer break with former Alpine executive Marcin Budkowski.
Having been mired in various operational and build quality issues, Budkowski first job is to further strengthen the team's procedures and tap into co-owner General Motors' existing resources.

Meanwhile, the US-owned squad has now also moved to shore up its technical leadership group with three big-name signings as the team prepares its 2027 sophomore campaign.
Given the long lead time and gardening leave periods involved, Cadillac announced the three would "all join the team in the next few months."
“These appointments represent a vital step in the technical evolution of the team,” said Marcin Budkowski, Team Principal, Cadillac Formula 1 Team. “Bringing together experienced leadership across development, aerodynamics and modelling will help us create a stronger integrated technical organization and improve performance on track. Craig, Eric and Tim bring race and championship-winning experience to Cadillac F1 in areas that are central to our long-term development.”
Cadillac recently set up shop in a brand-new UK headquarters in Silverstone, while working on a new state-of-the-art base in Fishers, Indiana.
The signing of Skinner, Blandin and Lean appears to be a clear sign the Cadillac team is full steam ahead despite lingering doubts over part of its ownership group amid a wider investigation into Mark Walter, owner of the TWG Global group which is the team's majority owner.
